Looking for a counselor who accepts medicare and other insurance? Polly Mahoney has over forty years experience providing psychotherapy to individual adults, children, families, and seniors. A senior herself, Polly is familiar with issues of aging: she also works with anxiety, loss, loneliness, illness, depression, end-of-life, isolation, relationships and disability

My approach to therapy is based on empathy, mindfulness and healthy attachment. I provide gentle guidance and challenge old limiting narratives and maladaptive behaviors. This exploration can and often does involve humor, the development of emotional fluency, and mind-body exploration. I am honored to enter into the sacred space of therapy together with my clients. In addition to thoughtful dialogue, I draw upon experiential therapeutic tools such as visualization, art therapy, psychodrama and role-play, and body awareness. I specialize in working with women's issues, eating disorders, intimacy/couples/relational issues, identity issues, anxiety/depression and moving through traumatic experiences. We all contain the inner wisdom to heal ourselves and move towards being an authentic, positive and loving person. The courage to be vulnerable --by moving toward our pain and confusion as well as our joy--utterly transforms and frees us.

As a whole, humans are amazingly and unequivocally resilient.� That being said, I try to focus on a person's individual strengths.� Everyone has them.� However, you may not be able to identify them, access them or feel that you ever had them.� Helping�identify and acknowledge past successes, and how you overcame past adversity and crisis, can empower you to move through the current pain.
